She thinks she can't stand it, but I know she can. I brought them here last Saturday was a week ago. I have been trying to move their things but I can't figure out what to do with them. Ellen, I tell you, we have had a hard time, but I hope by the grace of god, we will be able to get through with it. Ellen, prayfor us that we may do our duty. Ellen, I would be glad to see you all, but I don't know when I can go to see you, but you must come see us all as soon as you can.
